mr.. storey. story on the Cau didate.

Mrs. Storey, widow of the celebrated
editor, delights to tell OF an incident which
occurred some years ago, before the death
of Mr.. Storey. A prominent Democrat, a
friend of the editor of the Times was run
ming for Office. OF course Storey helped
him out. The paper contained few ed
itorial paragraphs praislng the candidate;
but what pleased the gentleman most was
the handsome reports of his speeches
which appeared in the city columns. Ac-
cording TO the reports in the Times the
candidate was an eloquent orator who
nightly stirred the passions and won the
applause of his hearers. Tue candidate felt
very grateful to the Times people for their
kindness, and one evening when he was
in the Office to see Storey the thought oc-
CURED to him that 1t would be good
thing to tender the reporters. who had
done such wonderful things Tor his
speeches some token of his appreciation.
So he marched into the managing editor s
room-Jbamberlain was managing editor
at the time-and said to that gentleman
"Mr. Chamberlain, / want TO make a
little present to tie reporters of your staff.
1 suppose you have no objecIions?"
"Never mind that" replied Mr.. Cham
berlain; "it's not necessary, and I'm afraid
Mr.. Storey wouldn't like It."
But the. reporters have really done
very nicely by me, Mr.. Chamberlain, iand
/ want to make them feel that appreciate
their kindness. Here's $40 note; | wish
you would take il, Mr.. Chamber ain, and
divide it among the reporters with my
compliments"
ooh, that won't do" demonstrated the
editor, land you must really put away
your money or Mr., Storey will be sure TO
get angry about it."
So the candidate folded up his $40 note,
quite upable to understand why il had
been declined. or course Editor Chamber
lain had to turn his head In. order to avoid
laughing the candidate IN the face, and
in speaking Of the incident afterward, Mr.
Chamberlain said.
I'VE had twenty-four reporters ats that
time, and the $40 would have given them
just. 4l2z cents each"
